Isaiah 10:27 ’ And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’
DAILY READING; 2 Timothy 2; Jeremiah 7-8; Psalm 122
Raymond T. Richey was an important figure in the history of the Pentecostal-charismatic renewal movement.
As a young boy, he was injured in the eyes which led to near blindness. Eye specialists told his family that he was eventually going to become blind.
This condition lingered until when Richey was about 15 years. One day he heard about a revival occurring in Texas and went there and gave his heart to God. After the meeting the evangelist holding the revival prayed for his eyes and by the next morning his eyes had cleared and he was healed. He was also healed of tuberculosis. This miraculous healings deeply affected him and shaped much of his remaining life and ministry.
As a result of his healing, he decided to serve God and earnestly sought for the anointing and the manifestation of God’s power. As he began praying for the sick he received miraculous answers to prayers.
In 1920 Richey was preaching in a meeting and while praying for the sick a woman’s crippled arm was healed. The news attracted large crowds and many people experienced healings.
This opened the way for a new itinerant healing ministry for Raymond T. Richey who began to hold citywide revivals which saw thousands of souls saved. In later years,
Raymond T. Richey became established as one of the first Pentecostal healing evangelists leaving a significant legacy for those who followed in his path, such as William Branham, Jack Coe, Oral Roberts, and Kathryn Kuhlman.
God doesn’t want to only work miracles in us, He also wants to work through us to heal others.
More than being recipients of miracles, we are to become channels through which God’s power flows to bring emancipation to men and end their cries of oppression.
In the midst of the gross darkness in the world, our light ought so shine with glorious testimonies and good works, that will cause men to continually glorify God.
To achieve this purpose, we must earnestly desire to receive the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, which is what breaks the yoke of oppression in the lives of men.
Isaiah 10:27 ’ And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’
We need the Anointing to be effective in our service to God. This is what will enable us to truly manifest as sons of God with power.
Romans 8:19-21 says: “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God…”
The manifestation of the sons of God will be the manifestation of glory and power. This is what the world is eagerly waiting for. As we seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit in this season, surely we will experience the flow of His power that will break yokes and set the captives free.
PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to earnestly seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit so that I can be a blessing to humanity and bring glory to You wherever I go in Jesus’ Name.
